Introduction

Contributing to Open Street Map (OSM) requires the use of editor software. The Puerto Rico Open Street Map (PROSMap) team recommends two editors, the basic web editor iD and the advanced desktop editor JOSM. iD is great for adding information to existing shapes and creating point shapes but may be cumbersome for creating complex geometric objects. Also, the Bing Images, which are the default in iD, are misaligned.

Start the application (/Applications/JOSM.app) and then quit it, to set the initial preferences.

Run the following command on the Terminal application:java -jar /Applications/JOSM.app/Contents/Java/*.jar --load-preferences=https://git.io/vwVce
